Description
The Intercultural Development Learning Community is a cohort-based professional development program designed for community engagement professionals and practitioners at Campus Compact member institutions. The curriculum is rooted in cultural humility and focuses on advancing participants’ intercultural competence through self-reflection, collaborative learning, and use of the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI)—a validated assessment tool. Over the course of several months, participants engage in virtual meetings, independent work, and group reflection, forming a supportive network dedicated to equity, justice, and effective community engagement.
Key elements include:
- Completion of the IDI assessment and personalized feedback.
- A 10-module curriculum covering self-understanding, the impact of intercultural awareness on community work, asset-based approaches, bridging differences, and creating sustainable systems of support.
- Small group reflection and large group learning sessions.
- Guidance and facilitation by a certified IDI Qualified Administrator.
